RNS Number : 1698W Invensys PLC 15 November 2010 Contrary to recent speculation, Invensys confirms that it has not received an approach nor had any discussions regarding a possible offer for the Company or about a strategic partner taking a minority stake. Maybe not an offer today but with their recent contracts who knows what will be in the future.
Invensys Rail’s underlying performance and prospects remain strong with an order book of £1.2 billion and a large pipeline of order prospects amounting to approximately £9 billion. Invensys Controls improved its performance. Higher volumes across the division, in particular North America, combined with restructuring benefits resulted in higher revenue and profitability. Looking ahead, the outlook remains unchanged and we continue to expect the Group to deliver improved performance in the current year helped by a large order book. Further out, we have built good momentum and we are optimistic about the prospects arising from our partnership arrangements with companies in China and other emerging markets to drive growth in global sectors such as rail and nuclear power.

Invensys Operations Management increased orders by 15% at CER as we continue to win large greenfield control and safety projects in emerging markets. Its order book is at record levels at £1.0 billion and its pipeline of current order prospects is around £4 billion. Revenue growth in the second half will increase as we convert recent large orders into revenue. We have also experienced a recovery in short-cycle equipment sales particularly in North America.

Invensys Rail has expanded further into new markets and we are encouraged by the prospects arising inside and outside China from our agreements with CSR Corporation Ltd (CSR). We have also been reassured by the recently announced commitment by the UK government to continued rail infrastructure investment for Network Rail, London Underground and Crossrail.
